In Reply to: Anyone currently working on a laptop with Bayscribe platform - wanting a laptop

I have worked on Bayscribe with a laptop before. It was a Dell laptop with Windows XP. It worked fine. I connected to internet with an ethernet cord in a hotel - I didn't try it with a wireless card.

Thinking of getting laptop.

Laptop
I was recently hired by Medquist and haven't received my software yet.  I'm considering purchasing a laptop computer so I can work when I'm not at home.  Does anyone use a laptop or know if it's even possible to do so with their software?  Any info would be appreciated.  Thanks so much.
Laptop
Thank you. I just got a new one for Christmas too. I would have to use an external keyboard, absolutely cannot type on a regular one never mind a laptop keyboard!

I replied earlier to the question of WM Company Laptop possibility here, but do not know where it went so will try again.  Yes, there is a person that I know of that uses a WM Laptop which makes it very convenient for travel and setup and teardown.  She said it sure beats the heck out of trying to pack and lug the big ole box around!.  I think your request might be looked upon in a more favorable light if you are a high producer?  
You can use a laptop with any company - SM
if the operating system is compatible with their platform. I don't work for Medquist and never have, but most companies only work with XP and are not yet compatible with Vista, so you may want to keep that in mind.
Question about laptop
Do any of you work exclusively on a laptop?
working on a laptop
I work on a laptop exclusively abd I love it and I use an external keyboard and external mouse.  Of course, I only do private accounts.  Not digital.  One is from doctors notes and tapes.  The other one just tapes.  Not digital.  No internet needed.
right, the laptop the doctors use for pointing
and clicking in their data. Hospitals were the first to switch over to this technique.
Doctors even take their laptops along when visting patients in their beds and pointing and clicking in their findings.

Webmedx--laptop? traveling
Anybody here use a laptop with Webmedx and travel? I'd love to be able to get away from home but not take time off work. I guess I could haul the PC around, but that wouldn't be as easy as a laptop.

thanks!
Anyone work for a company that they can use a laptop for and do while traveling..
With school soon out, we plan on doing traveling, but my currently job's platform/foot pedal is not compatible with my computer as it uses either a 15-pin or a USB and my current job requires a 9-pin foot pedal thus I can only use it at home and wouldnt be able to work while we travel. Does any know of any companies with a platform and/or foot pedal setup that allows for this. Thanks in advance
Mine does. Just loaded it on my laptop this week.

My kids' doctor's office also use laptop sm
They also use the laptops at my kids' doctor's office.  It is basically a program where they check/uncheck items on a list.  I have had the PE printed out for school sports physicals and it is pretty short (even for my son who has had a broken femur - no mention of that in the note).  I also recently lost an account with no warning to EMR.  The docs will be doing their own notes now and I am left to try to find another job so I can pay my bills and maybe buy a few Christmas presents.  Most of the MTSO's I have sent my resume to do not even bother to send an e-mail.  I know I will eventually have to look into another line of work but can't bring myself to do it until my kids are out of school.  Sad situation all around. 
Anyone currently working on a laptop with Bayscribe platform

Anyone working on the Bayscribe platform (MDI-MD). 


What operating system?  Vista or XP.


What kind of laptop?  I have a USB footpedal, dialup currently, but thinking about the wireless connection or air card for my laptop, and want to get a laptop that will work smoothly with this platform. 


Looking for a used or refurbished one.  Any ideas on where to get a used one?


 


thanks.


I use my laptop with Vista on it. It works fine
for the account I do and the platform I'm on (DQS)
laptop point and click errors
Think I'll go to law school and get rich on the point and click errors in medical reports. My doctor just joined those ranks and when I went in for check, he wanted me to get on an antibiotic, and I agreed. He pointed and clicked to his laptop, sent it to the pharmacist electronically and when I picked up my prescription it was for a seizure medication and not an antibiotic. They both start with a k. I thought the pharmacist made a mistake, but no turned out it was the doctor and his point and click was wrong. He was really upset when I took it back to his office for correction. More and more of this will be happening. Check your meds before taking.
You can plug in a USB keyboard into a laptop or use a docking station.

not gott.... GOTTA (I hate my laptop keyboard..fingers are too fat)
